A home generator can be worth its weight in gold in a time of disaster. Even short power interruptions can disrupt schedules and cause food to spoil. Today’s generators are programmed to work automatically. They turn on and off as needed and will protect your home while you are away on vacation.

The first consideration for most people would be cost. Is it worth the initial investment for the advantages it provides? While it is not uncommon to spend ten or fifteen thousand dollars purchasing just the equipment for an average home generator your expenses could be recovered over a fairly short period of time. A good generator system will immediately increase the resale value of your home.

 

 

Permits are required but they are usually surprisingly inexpensive. This should be one of your first steps toward installing a home generator. Contact your county or municipal building inspector to obtain the proper permits.

You can save some of the installation cost by handling the physical parts of the job yourself. Check with local dealers to see how much you can save. Some large home centers sell generators and encourage the homeowner to do most of the installation. A professional electrician and gas plumber would be called in to do the final hook up.

There are special numbers for calling utility companies before any digging takes place. They will be glad to help you locate all the buried pipes and wires in your yard. This will be important information to consider before placing your unit. The unit is usually always placed outside. With this information, and guidance from your dealer and electrician, the proper location can be determined.
